John,
I have worked them before. If you hear many stations being answered, thats
because there are "many stations." 144.490 uplink should be used. You
didn't mention any type of antenna you are using, however, on a pass that is
below 45 degrees, you mobile should work OK-Just use the highest power level
of your mobile to compensate for not having a directional antenna.
Have a good tracking program to determine that the ISS is actually coming
over your area.
Have fun trying and when you do contact them, don't forget to ask for a QSL
via the ARRL. A recording of the QSO would be nice to play at a local ham
gathering to get others interested.

Try 145.800 rec and 144-490 transmitt that works for me and best chance is
when they are the closest to your location

Anyone have any tips for working the iss? I've heard several passes this
week on 145.800 but cannot seem to get thru the pileup. Timing your
transmissions seems to be the hardest part. The Tx offset I'm using is
-1.31mhz. Any suggestions?
